We have one machine that is currently handleing about that many users.
It runs Debian 3.0 stable, sendmail, spamassassin (if anyone has a
better spam fillter let me know), imap and pop, and the load average is
rarely above 0.7. Most of the load comes from spamassassin. Which
seems to be normal.

If its of any help, at my last firm, we had 1000 email domains all using
different setup's their were 900 pop accounts checking their mail every
5 - 10 mins our set up was
Sendmail 8.11
Debian 3.0 kernel 2.4.18
intel 550Mhz
256Mb Ram
40Gb Hd
Machine load never above 0.7

Your question is certainly quite vague, but here are a few things to think
about..
What mail delivery program are you thinking of using and are you planning on
providing pop3 and/or imap service? Imap requires more processing power to
display the mail folders, but it depends on the software again

How often will these people be checking email? ONLY through the webmail
interface, or will they be checking by pop3, imap, etc.?
If they start playing around with imap and storing large files and
attachments on your server, the requirements will vary greatly.

Use qmail and vpopmail. They are both packaged to debian, so there should
not be much of a problem for it.
Vpopmail is a virtual domain pop3 server suited for serving as many as
23million POP3 mailboxes taking up only one system user, integrating with
qmail and other qmail-extension software. It

Hi,
perhaps have a look at qmail-ldap. You can manage all your users including
quota and all that in your ldap directory and everything runs with a
single UID. And you can run a cluster of POP-3 machines. BTW: gmx.net is
running on qmail and they have 500k+ users.
